Also, please choose an alternative candidate for this role
Tsuchiya Kouta's answer:

Yoshi+ Akihisa's answer:
'”① Cuteness” CandidateHimeji Mizuki Hideyoshi+ Kinoshi+ta shi+mada Minami'
Teacher's comments:
”Hazuki shi+mada[1]”
'Sensei is so what's with the blood traces on the paper'
Sakamoto Yuuji's answer:
'”④ Others (Marriage partner)” Candidate Kirishi+ma Shouko'
Teacher's comments:
'Why was your paper brought here by Kirishi+ma-san of class A?'
”So on the third battle without a fight?”
”Yup, the opponent forfeited due to food poisoning”
We frantically rushed towards the arena for the third battle After arriving at the scene, aiting for us is the unexpected result of the opponent forfeiting This food poisoning, don't tell me? I hope they weren't customers who stepped on a landmine here in our shop
”Then, if you don't uys help us to rebuild our business here?”
An apologetic Hideyoshi+ asks with a gloomy look This isn't Hideyoshi+'s fault anyway
”You're right In order to gain back so that can make a lot of impact”
The classrooh we have stopped the source of those negative comments, we can't stop the bad rumours that have spread around Like Yuuji said, if we don't co to come back
”Uuu, then what should we do?”
Hideyoshi+ looks around the entire classrooh I have looked around the classroo special that we can do
”Yuuji, do you have an idea?”
”Leave it to h it's overly si to attract customers, it should be very effective”
After that, Yuuji pulls out and aquasam[2] that has really beautiful embroidery on it Hideyoshi+ comments,
”Eh Though I feel that the skirt is a bit short, this would definitelyto use this for publicity—”
It'll definitely have a large ih we're being lazy, it isn't a bad tactic
”Ah We'll make—Akihisa wear this”
The ireat now
”Wait! Please sparea maid costume, everyone will think that I'm a real homosexual!”
For a happy school life, I certainly hope to have no more bad ru evenreasons
”I' This is for Hideyoshi+, Himeji and shi+mada to wear”
”Ah, that's it? What a relief~”
So it was a joke Thank goodness
”Aren't you joking when you're asking me to wear this?”
Hideyoshi+ sighs as he picks up the cheongsam
Hideyoshi+, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if we're joking aboutthis fro you to wear this
”We're back~! Ah, Aki took off the maid outfit”
”Ahthat's too bad It was really cute”
”Hazuki wants to see onii-chan wear it one more time”
At this irls came back They continue to say such selfish words without caring about other people's feelings Isto worsen because of that incident
”Ah ha ha What a pity, the world isn't so naive to let people see others in cosplay, you know?”
I reveal a wicked smile to them Since you people have seen sam
”That's the situation His”
In order not to allow the prey to escape, I wave a cheongsam at them as I block their escape route This is because at least Minami has the intention to run away
”You, you two Why are your expressions so terrifying?”
”I can feel an ominous aura”
Our two prey reveal a slight terrified attitude However, what's regretful is that they have nowhere to go
”Go, Akihisa!”
”OK! Hehehe, be obedient and wear this cheongsam—IT HURTS! I'M SORRY! I GOT TOO cockY!!”
”You're so weak”
The parts that were hit, abdoh, all hurt Why is Minaer than me, a boy?
”Why are youthis out of a sudden? I remembered that you said that we don't have to wear it”
As expected, Mina expression
”This is for the publicity of the shop, and to satisfy Akihisa's personal taste Akihisa likes cheongsaht?”
I was suddenly pulled into Yuuji's conversation Though I do like the to let people know of this personal interest It just so happened to be mentioned so coincidentally
”I—love them!”
”You really don't kno to say a lie”
Eh? Looks like I said so
”Ca, can't be helped For the sake of the shop, I'll just do this even if I don't want to”
”You, you're right! It's for business!”
Himeji-san and shi+mada both pick up the clothes
”Onii-chan, what about Hazuki?”
”Eh? Hazuki wants to help as well?”
”Help? Ah, ngh! I want to help, so give Hazuki one as well!”
Such an obedient kid, nobody can tell that she's Minami's little sister
”Sorry, though I understand your intentions, there's nothing that Hazuki can we—”
”!!(Ch ch ch ch)”
”Mu, Muttsulini! Why are you sewing clothes here so quickly? And up till now, you weren't here in the first place!”
”Don't underestimate my sense of smell”
What the heck It was a cool line, yet it doesn't feel cool at all
”Then we'll change into it after the third battle”
Hiht; Hio for their match
”No, I hope that both of you can change into it right now”
”Eh?”
Yuuji's voice and the duo's surprised cry synchronised in a harmonious manner
”It's for publicity Fro tournament onwards, all battles will be shown to the public It's rare to have soto publicise ourselves”
”Youtournament”
”This is really too hu”
Both of thesa in, to run out like this is rather hu However, this is to prevent Hi schools, so I really hope that they'll agree
”Please agree to this!”
After saying this, I bow my head This isn't for Himeji-san, but for me, since I do not want Himeji-san to transfer school Basically, this is a completely selfish request from me, thus, I would bow my head down
”Akihisayou really-- like cheongsams, huh”
I don't dare to deny this fact
”Don't tell ht—”
”Can't be helped For the class facilities, we'll help out Right, Mizuki?”
Minahts with an appropriate reply
”Ah, yes, yes! This is just a !”
Himeji-san replies with a rejuvenated tone
Come to think of it, I did hear quite a nice info If this is considered a trivial thing, then I'll continue to request His in the future
If the information that Himeji-san and Mina the teahouse and showcasing class F's ability It's rather effective
”OK, leave it to us! Mizuki, let's go”
”Alright”
The two girls walk out of the classroosam in hand There should be no probleht?
”Finished”
”Wa, this onii-chan is a!”
Hazuki's cheongsam was completed in Godspeed fashi+on
There's nothing ih I already knew that, I didn't know that he even has little students covered This guy is really enigmatic
”Oh, then I' now”
”WA, WAIT A SECOND, HIDEYOshi+! YOU'RE CHANGING HERE!? YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IN THE GIRLS' BATHROOM!!!”
To an innocent teenage like
”Recently, I've been thinking that Akihisa is viewing irl”
”You're thinking too much, Hideyoshi+ is Hideyoshi+”
”Mn, just like Yuuji said Hideyoshi+'s gender is 'Hideyoshi+', neither a male nor a female”
”I don't mean that”
Eh? Am I mistaken?
”Hai, ay”
”!!(Dripping sounds)”
”Ha, Hazuki! You can't change here either! Muttsulini will die due to blood loss!”
Though he has lost quite a lot of blood, Muttsulini still looks like he's extreainst his nose
”We're back—”
”We're back~”
Oh, that must be Himeji-san and Minami We're saved!
”Just nice I'irls are tired, but can you please help out outside?”
After both of theht Hideyoshi+ and Hazuki, who have changed into the cheongsah I felt that the initial effect wasn't great, but slowly, the number of customers starts to increase—about the time when Himeji-san's match was over Most of the seats are filled up, so it seems that ere very successful
”Good, it's back to hoas”
”Great”
”The number of female custo about how good our food is”
Because I was unlucky to get a bad one, I don't kno good our food is, but fro well I have a feeling that the reason why the nusams
”Then, can you two help out by being attendants?”
”No problem”
”OK”
Both of theet some menus and a pen With this, the number of customers should increase
”Can I order so from you?”
”Ah, yes May I knohat you want?”
Just as I' in the silhouette of those two, the customer nearby called me In order not to be disrespectful, I immediately whipped out the menu and pen
”I want so tea and some sesame balls”
”Got it So, lettea and sesaht?”
After writing the order down, I lift my head towards the custo staff, Takehara-sensei? He caain
”Thank you very much We'll serve your food soon, so please wait”
”I got so else to ask, may I?”
”Go ahead”
Takehara-sensei askedtowards the kitchen In response, I turned back
”I heard that there's a student called Yoshi+ Akihisa here May I knoho he is?”
”Eh? I'm Yoshi+ Akihisa”
I' What is the head of teaching staff looking for me for?
”Oh, I see You're Yoshi+-kun? (laughs)”
”Head of Staff, I feel that it's weird to laugh when you mentioned my name”
”Ah, I'm really sorry But I can't just call Yoshi+-kun, a student, 'idiot'”
”Em, excuse me, may I knohat do the teachers in the staff room call me?”
Why is the term 'idiot' always associated with me?
”Aki, Tsuchiya called fro that we ran out of tea leaves, and he's asking you to get them” Just as the conversation was under way, Minami has already prepared herself and walked in
”K, got it Sensei, can I leave now?”
”No proble for you because of any particular reason”
”Is that so?” Then why are you looking for es against me
”Aki, Tsuchiya said that it's urgent”
”O—kay”
Though I' on, let's settle the shop's business before we talk about so else I head towards an empty classroom, where the foodstuff is stored
I start to walk fast down the corridor of the old school building to the destination Eh, how many packets should I take? I should have asked how many should I take
”Oi”
”Hm?”
Just as I was standing around pondering, a voice came from behind The voice came from a trio of boys behind e as me What's bothersome is that they just walked into this classroom
”Er staff, can you please leave?”
”That won't do, we're looking for someone named Yoshi+ Akihisa”
After that, one of the boys went to close the door up
”Eh? Why are you looking for me?”
”We have no grudges against you, but please rest for now”
After one of the boys said that, a punch flies over
”Oi wait! Didn't you get the wrong person?”
I ducked and dodged the punch, and at the same time, switched positions with theot hit so often
”Don't leave! Stand still!”
”I can't do that even if you say that!”
Though I'uys would follow me back to the teahouse What should I do now?
At this moment, the door opens
”Ah, Akihisa, Muttsulini said that you need to get some red bean paste as well”
”Oi, Yuuji You caht time”
Man, I'm so lucky that Yuuji came here at the most opportune time
”Huys?”
Yuuji frowns as he stares at the three boys
”I'ht with you, Yuuji I'll leave it to you then”
While I dragged a puzzled Yuuji inside the classrooet onto the corridor
”Oi, Akihisa, this—Oh, I see, so this is what it's all about”
”How are we going to take this guy down?”
”It's too troublesoether”
I left these words behind me as I close the door and wait for a minute After that—
”You, you better remember this!”
”I won't forget your face!”
”Watch out when you walk outside tonight!'
They have co of the word 'losers' As expected of Yuuji, he's strong
”Yuuji, do you knohat they came here for?”
”Seems like they came here to disrupt Class F's business”
”Hahaha, nobody would be so stupid as to use this as a reason to cause trouble”
”Who knows? Anyway, let's head back, Muttsulini's waiting for us”
”Got it”
Yuuji and I again enter the classroos of tea leaves and red bean paste, we carry them back to the classroom
—After a lot of things happened, two hours later—
”Akihisa, it's almost time for the fourth battle”
”Eh? Did the time pass by so fast?”
I checked the clock for the time It's past 2pm now; to think that ti inside the teahouse
”Eh? Aki, you guys are going for your match as well?”
”Really Actually, it's almost time for our match as well~”
Himeji-san and Minami put the trays aside
”Onii-chan, where are you going? Are you going to leave Hazuki behind?”
A corner ofme like this, I can't
”Kiddo, baka onii-chan has an i to do You have to stay here and wait”
Yuuji uy sure kno to deal with kids Seems like we can easily convince her
”Uuu~but”
Hazuki puffs up her cheeks unhappily
”However, if you behave yourself like a good kid—”
In order to cheer her up, Yuuji gives a little smile
”Baka onii-chan will teach you how an adult goes for a date, okay?”
And this guy just pitched a superbomb
”Hazuki will go and help out!”
”No, that's not it, Hazuki! I don't have the finances that you expect! ACK, are you listening?”
Hazuki has already disappeared from the scene; she has rushed back into the kitchen
This is troubleso at her, it doesn't see to satisfy her
”Aki, can you come to the back of the school compound?”
The sister's terrifying voice rings, and rabbed by this fierce presence, as if et dislocated
”Minami, please wait”
At this entle person
”Looks like our opponents will be Yoshi+-kun's group There shouldn't be any reservations if we execute theht?”
To think that Himeji-san would proclai thisIt's hard to tell what she's thinking nowadays
”Wait a ets hurt!! If I were to get hit by Hiet hit very badly, you know—”
”Humph, I'm fine with that”
”YUUJI! STOP DECIDING WHEN MY TIME WILL END, WILL YOU!!!”
I'M NOT AGREEABLE TO THIS AT ALL!!
”Hmm, that's for the best Let's head to the arena I'll be looking forward to what kind of scream Aki will make”
”Sure Since you said this, let uish”
Seems like I'm alone on this one
”And now, the fourth in All contestants please come forward”
Being called by the refereeing teacher, the four of us walk towards the stage
The temporary spectator stand, which is made for the visitors, seemed to be completely packed Under these conditions, our fourth battle will begin soon
”I see, the proreater”
”Yup, and also, all the people participating are from class F This is really a chance for us to promote ourselves without any real objections”
After looking around at the crowd, I turn to nod at Yuuji Noe're one step closer to our goal
”Then, girls, we'll leave it to you Help us promote this!”
I said to the girls who are now the focus of all the men inside the arena
”Er”
Himeji-san presses down on her skirt as she looks down Looks like she's blushi+ng so much that her ears are all red now She must really feel embarrassed now
”A, Aki should wear soirl costume as well! This, this is too unfair!!!”
Minah the skirt is a lot shorter than the uniform she normally wears, I honestly have no idea why she's so eerie or sear
”Class F's rating will drop if I'irl's clothes Wouldn't it be troublesome if Himeji-san's father is to see it?”
”Eh? Otou-san did et into the finals but how come Yoshi+-kun knows about it?” Himeji-san reveals a look of disbelief
Not good! Thisschools!
”Erm, you see! I feel that if Himeji-san performs well, her parents will come over to watch!”
”Mn Akihisa doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of his future father-in-law”
”No! Yoshi+-kun looks extreht!”
Ah, so you can make a Boke and Tsukkomi routine out of it
”Can the four of you prepare yourselves?”
The teacher holds the microphone and reveals a bitter smile
”Ah, yes Then—”
I take in a deep breath and summon my summoned beast
””””SUMMON!!!””””
The four of us loudly suic arrays appear beside our feet
This alone is able to bring small cheers fro this kind of uing to them
After that, the all-important summoned beasts appear Theas cute as ever
On a side note, the marks that would always appear aren't displayed yet This is because they wanted to display the antic screen Maybe some time is needed to process the data
”Then, the fourth battle—”
Just as the referee, Mukai-sensei is about to announce the start of the battle—
”Wait a second”
—He's interrupted by Yuuji
”H?”
Now that the momentum is someeakened, the teacher reveals an unhappy look But Yuuji doesn't mind this at all
”Excuse me, can I have the mic please?”
After saying that, without waiting for the teacher to respond, Yuuji snatched the microphone
”hello to all the visitors to this Cool Summer Festival”
Yuuji waves his hand after saying that Oh yeah, he intended to do soht from the start
(Himeji-san, Minami, stand over here Yuuji's about to do some promotion)
(Eh? Ah, okay)
I whisper over to the two girls to call them over, and we then proceed to stand in a line
”All four of us are working at the traditional teahouse of Class 2-F Such cute girls are working hard over there, so if you can, please visit our shop”
Yuuji bows politely to the crowd, and we followed him
””””Thank you very much!!!””””
We even let our su with us This would probably let the crowd have a deep impression on class 2-F
”Sensei, I'll return the mic back to you”
Yuuji slightly nods his head before return theI didn't even think of doing this to promote our teahouse
”—So that's all All visitors, if you have the time, please visit the class of our competitors here, Class 2-F”
The teacher smiles bitterly as he helped us with the pro this as a proood
”And now, that's the end of our co tournament will now continue To the 4 representatives of Class F, please put in a good performance”
After saying this, Mukai-sensei backs away from us
”Aki, Sakaed to make it all the way here, but do you think you can beat us?”
Minami reveals a confident s opponents, aren't taking part in this due to theirls are already considered talented substitutes, and thus it's expected that they'll be so confident
”shi+ substitutes, on the other hand, we can predict that you'll win all the way here Thus if there is a need for tactics, nothem to you!”
Yuuji confidently replies as he points to the large screen That's right, we have a strategy to beat theood in all the subjects, Minami isn't all powerful!
F class, Himeji Mizuki, Ancient Literature 399 points & F class, shi+mada Minami, Ancient Literature 6 points
”AN, ANCIENT LITERATURE! ISN'T THE FOURTH BATTLE SUPPOSED TO BE MATHEMATICS!?”
Mina cry To her, who just came back from Germany, Ancient Literature is like an alien subject to her
”The ot—”
Yuuji smirks evilly as he says,
”—Was done up by me”
”YOU, YOU TRICKED US!!”
That's right, the ot was h the competitors are all real, the subjects in the htly altered This is a trap that Yuuji set when he told the principal what subjects are to be set
”GWAAHAHAHAHA!! THIS WOULD BASICALLY BE A 2V1 MATCHUP! WE GOT THE WIN IN THE BAG, AKIHISA!”
”You're right, Yuuji! That 6 point summoned beast of Minami won't even make a difference!”
”Kuyou despicable people!”
The screen ignores Minaeful cry as it displays our marks
F class, Sakamoto Yuuji, Ancient Literature 211 points & F class, Yoshi+ Akihisa, Ancient Literature 9 points
”Akihisa”
